De-rez

De-rez is the action of virtually disintegrating, or de-resolving, within a Virtual World. This happens when an avatar's participant removes his or her holoband, or when that person is forcibly ejected from the V-World, due to being virtually "killed."

Software glitches may also be responsible for "de-rezzing" an avatar, in the case of the twin avatar created by Zoe Graystone. ("Pilot")
